"Great balls of spiders"You get such vivid colors in your photos karl. The grass stalk is so green and the spiders are international safety Yellow

. I had the same ones on my BBQ last summer.

Thnx.....

A bit confused though, does that mean the colour is wrong...??

Three attention grabbing images Karl! They are just so beautifully crisp and clean and as Doug noted, the colours are so pure and intense (in a very desirable way

) - truly excellent.

Aside from their technical merit, all three pictures have interesting detail that demands you have a really close look. Artistically, the silk strands supporting the spiderling mass in pic2 really makes the image something special too.

Well done!

Bruce

Great sharp details and the lighting is good Karl. Nice colours and good use of selective focus. Nicely worked

Danny.
